TL;DR

This paper investigates uncertainties in neutrino oscillation measurements in the NO$ u$A experiment, focusing on matter effects and cross section uncertainties, and discusses their impact on determining neutrino properties.

Contribution

It provides an analysis of how matter effects and cross section uncertainties influence NO$ u$A's sensitivity to neutrino mass hierarchy and CP violation.

Findings

01

Uncertainties in matter effects affect oscillation measurements.

02

Cross section uncertainties impact sensitivity to neutrino parameters.

03

Results inform future experimental precision requirements.

Abstract

Uncertainties related to the effect of neutrino coherent forward scattering in Earth's matter (MSW mechanism) and with the cross sections of quasi-elastic neutrino scattering on nuclear targets of the NO $ν$ A detectors are studied. The NO $ν$ A sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy and the CP violating phase is discussed.
